On another note: I WANT A FUCKING JOB BUT I CAN’T GET ONE AND IF I DON’T HAVE ONE IN TIME FOR MY GRADUATION I WILL BECOME A CAT LADY RECLUSE PICKING UP STRAYS AND WORKING AS A CHECKOUT CHICK
My parents took my brother’s coming out okay. They were angry/sad at first but they came to terms with it. They may not acknowledge it but it’s better than focusing negatively on it. My and my brother agreed that it would be better if he didn’t invite discussion about his sexuality until he is at least 18. I think the main problem mum had was that he didn’t trust her enough to tell her before and the fact that he knows his sexuality means that her boy is finally growing up. My dad is different. He is still in denial, calling it a phase but he is accepting it somewhat. Family life nearly back to normal.
So, my parents have just found out that my little brother’s gay. How the hell do I support both my little brother and my parents when my parents are homophobic and my little brother is having a really really tough time just for being who he is?
Not feminism: Oh my God, that woman is wearing make-up and high heels! She can't be a feminist. She's just adhering to the patriarchal expectations of femininity! What a traitor to her gender.
Not feminism: I hate men! Women are so much better than men! All men are rapists and we don't need their help! Men are just there to oppress us and keep us down! Women are the superior gender.
Not feminism: You're giving up your career to have a baby? You're being dictated to by a man! That's the wrong choice! You've slept with twenty men? Wow, way to show that you have no respect for yourself.
Feminism: Women and men are equal. No-one should be discriminated against on the basis of their gender. Women have the right to decide how to live their life, how to dress, what to do with their body and who to love.

I’m gonna say this once
The right to free speech (if you live in a country that allows you that) means the government won’t put you in jail for what you’re saying. It doesn’t protect you from other people telling you to shut the fuck up.
PARDON ME WHILE I FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVER.
THANK YOU

La Cosecha / The Harvest (2011)
“Every year there are more than 400,000 American children who are torn away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat. Zulema, Perla and Victor labor as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their families survive. The Harvest / La Cosecha profiles these three as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas’ onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida’s tomato fields to follow the harvest and provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of these children who struggle to dream while working 12 – 14 hours a day, 7 days a week to feed America.”
just goes to show you that not consuming animals does not mean you are supporting a system that is cruelty free
^^^^^^^
THANK YOU

I just have to say that one can accept religion and science at the same time. Maybe not an institutionalized strict order that has no room for free thought but you can accept that the incredible feats that science has uncovered are divine in their own right and that the divine nature of science can be your god
:D
This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
This is why we download.
Alternatives to buying overpriced textbooks
BookFinderSpreading this shit like nutella because goddamn textbooks are so expensive.

Guess what I’m doing tonight? :D
I’m doing a study and I need your help.
Please, if you’re attracted to guys and would date a guy who has been raped, reblog this.
Alternatively, if you’re attracted to girls and you’d date a girl who has been raped, reblog this.
ONLY IN THESE 2 CASES.
Thank you.
